ABSTRACT:
A common design framework for input and output signal validation, arbitration, and fault reporting for real-time controllers includes a method of validating redundant input and output signals and arbitrating between the redundant input and output signals by determining a fault severity level for each of the redundant input and output signals, and determining a signal to transmit for further processing based at least in part on the determined fault severity levels.
